The duchess just laughed and remained silent without saying anything else. Although Shade didn't look at her expression, he knew that she definitely didn't want anyone to talk to her at the moment. After five minutes of this, Lacey
Before Ya and Margaret came over, no one came up to talk to her.
"Auntie, what's your expression?"
The only one who didn't care about the Duchess's mood was Lecia. Seeing that Shade and Miss Carina were standing not too far away, and both of them were silent, she guessed that someone must have suddenly fallen into the trap.
Lost in emotion.
After Lesia spoke, Shade felt that the atmosphere around him immediately changed. He finally turned around and saw the smile on the witch's face:
"The expression of thinking, thinking makes girls smarter."
She said this, greeted Margaret, and said to Shade in her heart:
"Anlos just asked you to meet at the bathroom door."
She raised her eyebrows slightly, and Shade's eyes widened slightly:
"Just now? When?"
"About half an hour ago."
There was a smile on her lips, and Shade frowned slightly:
"What about you?"
"I know he is definitely going to get you into trouble, why would he let you go?"
She nodded to Shade with satisfaction, but Shade was a little confused:
"Then now"
"I understand. No matter what, we can't live in a peaceful era, and I can't stop you from taking risks for other people. But at least I am luckier than those witches in the fifth era. Even if they become demigods,
I can’t hold your hand either.”
She didn't reach out to grab Shade's hand, she just looked at him with her golden eyes.
The conversation between the two people just now was transmitted through the hearts of the witch through the unknown secret technique of the witch. Therefore, in the eyes of Lesia and Margaret, Shade and the Duchess were just flirting with each other while holding wine glasses, and then the two of them started talking.
He stared at each other in shock.
Lesia glanced at Agelina aside, hoping that she would break the silence. The little princess knew it was best not to do this at this time, but due to the majesty of her sister, she could only cough twice:
"Ahem."
The silence was broken again. Both Shade and Miss Carina looked away. Then Shade and Megan said something and walked towards the door. The three princesses and Miss Carina gathered together, and the witch looked
Drinking the bright red liquid in the wine glass, he asked softly:
"Do you think he might feel tired sometimes? Does a person really need to bear such a heavy responsibility?"
Margaret pursed her lips in thought, thinking that the women of the Cavendish family had really taken advantage of them and complained; Lesia looked at Shade's back, and thought of what he had done for them so far.
Of all the things she did, only Agelina stared at the wine glass in Miss Carina's hand. In the deep red, she seemed to see more and more.
On the other side, although Shade was half an hour late, Director Anlos was still washing his hands in front of the sink in the bathroom on the second floor. In front of him was a mirror of good quality. The City of Glass on the other side of the lake is rich in glass. Mirrors
The production process is also quite good.
Director Anlos was indeed very remarkable for being in this position. He had no intention of asking Shade why he was so late. Instead, he looked at him in the mirror and spoke directly:
"It's time again when the organization needs you."
"Because of what happens tomorrow?"
"Because of what happens tomorrow."
Tomorrow morning, Miss Carina and Margaret will ride in a carriage to the city hall together. While the duchess waves to the crowd, someone will fire a shot. Afterwards, a small conflict broke out between the border troops of the two countries, but again
Under control. Because of this series of events, Kasenrik and Delarion will announce the suspension of negotiations at the same time and ask the negotiating delegation to leave the Green Lake area.
At this point, nearly two months of negotiations in Green Lake were officially terminated with only minor results achieved.
The underlying reason for this incident is that the Zhengshen Church is fully preparing for the final Battle of Green Lake. But it is impossible for everyone to know about this matter, and Director Anlos is obviously one of the insiders who knows what will happen tomorrow:
"There are four people in our entire department who know the truth, including you and me. I know you will definitely go and see it tomorrow. Don't do anything. The lady should have told you already, so I won't repeat it.
Already."
He turned off the faucet, approached the mirror, and wiped his eyebrows with his wet hands:
"Remember that organization that tried to precipitate conflict between the two countries by assassinating the negotiating delegations of the two countries?"
Shade certainly remembered that when he was investigating the colorful mushrooms, he bumped into MI6 and Gray Gloves meeting at a high-end entertainment venue in the City of Glass to discuss the matter. But in the end, Margaret, Prince Samuel and
Duke Simil was still assassinated.
"Remember."
"We suspect that someone will fish in troubled waters tomorrow, so we need you to be vigilant in secret. Although the church will send people to watch the scene tomorrow, after all, eggs cannot be put in just one basket."
He looked at Shade in the mirror, and Shade nodded:
"I understand. It would be ridiculous if the pretended assassination turned into a real assassination."
"Yes, people from the Sixth Bureau will spread across the whole street tomorrow. But among the agents, you are the only one who knows the truth. Remember, the characteristic of the real assassins is that they have a silver pen on their chest. No
The pen must be fake. If it involves that aspect, the church will definitely take action, but if it is still the action of ordinary people, we can only rely on ourselves."
"learn."
Shade nodded again. Director Anlos said nothing more. He took out the handkerchief in his pocket, wiped his hands, turned away, and patted Shade on the shoulder again when he passed by Shade. This should only encourage Shade, not discourage him.
Shade wants to see him at three o'clock tonight.
In order not to arouse suspicion, Shade did not leave with Director Anlos, but also came to the sink and washed his hands. He looked up at himself in the mirror, and "she" whispered in his ear:
【What are you thinking about?】
Shade's eyes in the mirror looked towards Shade's ears in reality, confirming that there was no one there:
"This time, I really witnessed history."
【Is it so serious? 】
"I hope not, I hope."
That night, Shade never saw Director Anlos again. This ordinary-looking middle-aged man always appeared and left at the right place.
For Shade, the grand banquet that night was generally quite pleasant. No unlucky cultists broke into the banquet, and no strange murders suddenly occurred.
After the dance officially started at 9:30, Megan danced the first dance with him, and then Miss Aurora danced the second dance with Shade.
Shade basically didn't take any time off after the dance music started. Audrey came in third, followed by Miss Bernice, the woman who has been involved in scandals in Randall Valley earlier this year.
The opera singer danced with a man again at this time, which made the reporters present quite excited. However, after Miss Benenice danced that dance, she no longer accepted anyone's invitation.
Megan danced the fifth dance with Shade on the grounds that she was Shade's female companion, and then Miss Sylvia and Shade danced again to a soothing tune.
Audrey asked to continue dancing with Shad on the grounds that she was Shad's female companion. Although the other girls did not have the title of "wisdom and knowledge", they would not be fooled by her:
"You have danced three times. Oh, we count based on the body, not the soul!"
So Audrey was forced to sit down and watched as Sirius held the hand of Shade, who had changed his appearance again, and walked towards the crowd.
"You were smiling at me proudly just now, aren't you sitting with me now?"
Miss Carina, who was holding a wine glass on the side, laughed and joked. She was quite enjoying herself. The brown-haired witch snorted:
"At least I had a lot of fun tonight. I wasn't forced to chat with strangers about boring topics. I even danced three dances with him. Thank you very much for teaching him how to dance. It can be seen that he is still a little rusty.
But it’s better if you don’t know how to do it.”
The red-haired witch shook her wine glass:
"Really? Should I tell you that although you danced with him tonight, he will stay here for the night later."
She smiled and winked:
"Don't think too much. You're just staying here for the night. My nieces and nephews are here, Princess Margaret is here, and there are so many maids. I won't do anything bad."
Audrey's mouth trembled:
"You are so blatant, aren't you afraid that I will actually tell others about this?"
"Do you know?"
Miss Carina asked, taking another glass of wine from the maid on the side and handing it to Audrey.
The two clinked glasses gently:
"of course not."
"So, maybe you sisters can be bolder. You see, I'm bold enough, so I'm ahead of everyone else."
For Audrey and Megan who already know this secret, the red-haired witch can show it off over and over again, but she cannot show it off in front of others.
"How long has it been since you met Shade and until you thought you became bold? Half a year? One year?"
Audrey suddenly asked, putting her right index finger with pomegranate red nail polish on her lips, with her own smile on her face:
"Are you brave? Duke, I have only known him for two months."
The expression on the Duchess's face changed:
"Boring comparisons will make girls' hearts look ugly."
"What are you talking about? Why do you look so happy?"
Miss Aurora, who had just returned from the bathroom, held a wine glass and sat down comfortably beside them. Her niece, Miss Hayley Aurora, stood where Tifa, who was changing clothes, should have stood.
Miss Carina tugged at the hair hanging by her ears and looked at Audrey who was shaking the wine glass gently:
"Postpartum Care for Chocobos."
